Welcome to the Estes Valley Fire Protection District

“The Mission of the Estes Valley Fire Protection District is to provide the citizens of and visitors to the Estes Valley with superior fire prevention, fire protection and emergency services in a safe and efficient manner.”

In keeping with the spirit of community the EVFPD has donated a 1200 gallon water tender (tanker) truck to the Volunteer Fire Department of Big Elk. “Our Department and Estes have worked together on a number of fires, so having this tender in a local area would be beneficial to both departments. Since the flood we have a lack of water as all 5 lakes disappeared with the flood” stated Treasurer Diane Briggle of VFD of Big Elk. Tender 4 served the residents of the Estes Valley for almost 4 decades. EVFPD recently purchased a new 2100 gallon Tender that debuted at the Safety Fair back on May 16th.

Red Flag Warning

The Estes Valley Fire Protection District will now display a red flag on the Smokey fire danger sign at 901 N Saint Vrain Ave when there is a Red Flag Warning in our area. A Red Flag Warning means that conditions are ideal for wildland fire combustion and rapid spread. This warning is posted when critical fire weather conditions are either occurring or imminent. Conditions that contribute to a Red Flag Warning are dry vegetation, low humidity, and high winds over a period of time.

Join Our New RESERVES Program

The Estes Valley Fire Protection District will be instituting a Reserve Firefighter Program to support the firefighters in various areas. If you have ever wanted to help the fire department, but don’t have the desire or time to commit to becoming a certified firefighter, then don’t miss out on this unique opportunity. There are many firefighting support roles that don't require becoming a certified firefighter. Interested individuals can contact Fire Chief Scott Dorman, at the Dannels Fire Station, 901 North Saint Vrain Ave, Estes Park, (970) 577-0900 or email to sdorman@estesvalleyfire.org.
